The Cause of Hitler's Germany - Softcover

"Offers a truly revolutionary idea...The book is clear, tight, disciplined, beautifully structured, and brilliantly reasoned. Its style is clear and hard as crystal--and as sparkling... As to my personal reaction, I can express it best by paraphrasing a line from Atlas Shrugged 'It's so wonderful to see a great, new, crucial achievement which is not mine!'"--Ayn Rand

"Extraordinarily perceptive...frightening insights...Everyone concerned with the collectivist trend in today's world should read this book."--Alan Greenspan

"A fascinating weave of German history, philosophic determinism, and Objectivist polemic."--Chicago Tribune

“A truly revolutionary idea... Clear, tight, disciplined, beautifully structured, and brilliantly reasoned.”—Ayn Rand
 
Self-sacrifice, Oriental mysticism, racial “truth,” the public good, doing one’s duty—these are among the seductive catchphrases that circulated in pre-Nazi Germany. Objectivist author and philosopher Leonard Peikoff was Ayn Rand’s long-time associate. In The Cause of Hitler’s Germany—previously published in The Ominous Parallels—Peikoff demonstrates how unreason and collectivism led the seemingly civilized German society to become a Nazi regime.
